SRS (Penile Skin Inversion)

Transsexual person is someone who was born into the wrong body. They have the body of one gender and the mind of the other. Transsexuals may be a female trapped in a male’s body or a male trapped in a female’s body.

Preecha Aesthetic Institute has been provide information, help and supportive for Transsexuals, and Cross-Dressers of all ages, we are especially Reconstructive Center located in Bangkok ,Thailand for those who are in the final stages of “Sex Reassignment Surgery”. We have been performed SRS by PSI, SSG and SCG > 4,800 + cases.

Sex reassignment surgery (initialized as SRS; also known as genital reconstruction surgery, sex affirmation surgery, sex realignment surgery or sex-change operation) is a term for the surgical procedures by which a person’s physical appearance and function of their existing sexual characteristics are altered to resemble that of the other sex. It is part of a treatment for gender identity disorder/gender dysphoria in transsexual and transgender people.

Other terms for SRS include gender reassignment surgery, sex reconstruction surgery, genital reconstruction surgery, gender confirmation surgery, and more clinical terms, such as feminizing genitoplasty or penectomy, orchidectomy and Vaginoplasty are used medically for trans women.

Sex Reassignment Surgery (Male to Female Surgery).

There are 2 main surgeries.

1. Penile Skin Inversion

2. Sigmoid Colon

- The SRS with Penile Skin Inversion(self- lubricate with organism).

- The SRS with Sigmoid Colon(lubricate with organism).

SRS with Penile Skin Inversion or Sigmoid Colon each provided the sensational glans clitoris, labiaplasty and vaginoplasty in one stage with 3 different techniques.

PAI (Preecha Aesthetic Institute), we are following WPATH/HBIGDA or SOCs.

The Standards of care for gender identity disorders – WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) the earliest sets of clinical guidelines for the express purpose of ensuring “lasting personal comfort with the gendered self in order to maximize overall psychological well-being and self-fulfillment.” These standards are still the most well-known; however, other sets of SOCs, protocols and guidelines do exist, especially outside the USA.

A portion of the glans (head of the penis), with its nerves and vessels, is converted into a clitoris. In so do, the clitoris will be functional in sensation as well as in appearance.

The excess erectile tissue around the urethra should be removed in order to avoid symptoms that stem from engorged erectile tissue during sexual arousal, that may result in the narrowing of the vaginal opening.

Sex Reassignment Surgery recovery

After sex reassignment surgery, pain that is easily controlled by medication usually will subside in a few days. Dressings have been applied; we will be replaced a few days. Sutures will be removed within a week of surgery. Although the surgeon has made every effort to keep scars as inconspicuous as possible, they are the inevitable result of surgery. Minimal swelling and discoloration of the breasts will disappear rapidly.

Healing process may occur for weeks or even months following surgery.

Dilation will be given an instruction during follow up visits.

The decision on when to return to work and normal activities depends on how fast you heal and how you fee. To permit proper healing, you should avoid over activity and refrain from overhead lifting.

For SRS patients – a full post-operative care kit necessary for dilation, including a -piece dilator set specially manufactured for GRS as design by Preecha Aesthetic Institute.

Treatment after surgery for SRS, More instruction will be given after surgery:

After release from hospital you will recover with the aid of liaison at the hotel.

During recovery in the hotel, you must follow instructions including:

1. Dilating is the most important thing you can do to ensure the success of your surgery. If you do not dilate responsibly, this can result in the shortening of depth and width of the newly made vagina because of the scar contracture.

2. Failure to dilate properly can result in serious injury. You will be instructed to gently dilate into the right direction after the vaginal packing is removed.

3. Dilation can be painful for the first weeks, but is essential for developing maximum depth and ensuring post operative functioning of the neovagina.

During the recovery period, after each dilation session SRS :

- The wound should be washed gently with Hibiscrub (pink color) in the shower followed by douching while seated in the toilet:

- Douche solution (proportion) = 5-10 ml (cc) of Beta dine solution mixed with 1L of water or until the container is full.

- Insert the douche to full depth, squeeze, and hold tightly the container.

- While holding tightly the container, extract the douche;

- Keep the wound dry and apply Beta dine solution with cotton balls; and apply Kemicitine ointment with a cotton applicator. If there is some bleeding, press or apply pressure with a dry cotton ball to the site for 15 minutes. During the first weeks after surgery, feminine knapkins (tampons) should be changed several times per day due to normal vaginal bleeding during recovery.

- After one month of SRS operation you will be required to start applying Premarin cream to your neo-vagina. Apply two times a day to soften your neo-vagina. This would generally take around six months.

- You can return to female hormones as before surgery or after two weeks. You should consult your endocrinologist to re-adjust the dosage. A sudden change in hormone levels, for some individuals, may result in the fluctuation of emotion.

There was also a tube attached into the bulging part of my new female sex organ to take the blood out of my body. I was also new to the whole female peeing thing so, they had another tube inserted into my urethra to ease me into the process. On the third day after surgery, my body got used to the new organ and I was ready to pee on my own.
